Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

It began with a young boy and a new home in Connecticut. What should have been a fresh start in the early 1980s quickly spiraled into a terrifying series of alleged possessions, blessings, and exorcisms. When the entity tormenting the child refused to leave, Arne Johnson reportedly challenged it—inviting the spirit into himself.

Months later, a brutal killing shocked the state. Johnson’s legal team would argue something never before successfully used in American court: demonic possession.

Author and paranormal investigator Jeff Belanger breaks down the real case behind what many now know from The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. He explores what truly happened inside that Connecticut home, the role of clergy and investigators, and the darker truths that never fully made it into headlines—or Hollywood.

Was it psychological breakdown? Suggestion? Or something far more sinister?

Welcome to part two of our conversation with Jeff Belanger about the devil made me do it.

0:07.0

So they're bringing this up.

0:09.4

I mean, what an interesting thing to bring up.

0:13.3

I mean, I can't imagine they were ever, you know, sitting there, you know, plotting, oh, someday we can bring this up in court.

0:19.8

But, I mean, this happens. And then you're like, oh, well we can bring this up in court. But, I mean, this, this happens. And then

0:21.9

you're like, oh, well, you know what, hold on. Let me correct you, Tony. So they're not,

0:28.4

you said, they're not just plotting, maybe someday we can bring this up in court. They were.

0:32.7

Oh, really? And not with this case. Okay. Because I could tell you, I've spoken with Ed about this extensively.

0:39.2

One of the cases he was most proud of, this is a sidebar here, everybody, so stay with me.

0:45.9

Sidebar.

0:46.6

Ed got involved with another case in Connecticut where the woman moved into a haunted apartment

0:51.7

and she was freaked out all the time and she wanted

0:55.0

out of her lease. Her landlord wouldn't let her out of her lease and it actually went before a judge.

1:13.5

lease. The judge ruled, okay, yeah, she shouldn't be held to this lease, but the judge wasn't

1:19.8

ruling on ghosts. The judge was ruling on a stigmatized property. And there's lots of ways

1:26.4

of property get stigmatized. For example, the Amityville house in

1:31.0

Long Island is a stigmatized property because six people were murdered in it. And now it's famous

1:36.9

for the movies and all the other stuff. So that house has a stigma. It must be disclosed to you

1:42.7

if you're going to rent or buy it.
